Agents entered the 300 35 St. home around 7 a.m. to execute a search when they found Moore and Weaver in possession of 5.4 ounces of marijuana valued at $3,046, 2.6 grams of heroin with a street value of $520, and a small quantity of adderall and clonazepam pills. Agents also seized multiple digital scales and packaging materials.

Moore, a convicted felon, was in possession of a .380 -caliber pistol. A juvenile also was in the room occupied by Moore, leading to the reckless conduct charge.
